FROM ANNUAL REPORTS OF CHRISTIAN SCIENCE COMMITTEES ON PUBLICATION

Increasing Public Interest in Christian Science

Sussex, England

It is good to report that the growing tolerance and understanding of Christian Science has again been a noticeable feature of this Committee's contact with public officials and the press. There is no doubt that the general thought of the public has come to regard in greater degree the teaching and practice of Christian Science as a religious way of life, as well as a means of healing physical and other difficulties. Many instances of this greater understanding of the mission of Christian Science have reached us, and we feel that it is cause for much gratitude.

Through many years this better understanding and appreciation of our religion has gradually been unfolding, and it is good to pay tribute to the work of earlier Committees, not only in Sussex, but all over the world, who have contributed so much towards this end. Mrs. Eddy writes in "The People's Idea of God" (p. 3). "Let us rejoice that the bow of omnipotence already spans the moral heavens with light, and that the more spiritual idea of good and Truth meets the old material thought like a promise upon the cloud, while it inscribes on the thoughts of men at this period a more metaphysical religion founded upon Christian Science."
